I find the direction this thread has gone very offensive. Mexican food seems to be mentioned frequently, and I am low on funds, without wheels, and the nearest place that serves decent mexican grub is well out of walking distance. Ya'll are just mean.

If you're ever in Denver, I'll treat you.

And anyone else who feels like coming down!

We'll make a party of it.

Since I am late to the party, I will touch on a few key posts here.
Flake wrote: Okay, I'll take your approach.

No one likes you. No one cares what you have to say. No one clicks on a link where you're the most recent poster without groaning a little on the inside, wondering what this pissant has to say this time. You have no standing. You have no place to talk about video games, much less peoples belief systems. You waste your time with every key you type and I am seriously wondering if I could paypal you a certain amount of funds to go the hell away and never bother people ever again. I'd be willing to gift it.

Conversations are constantly derailed by your sanctimonious, inane, undesired, unrequested, naive, blind bullshit and despite constant requests for you to get in line and act like a reasonable person, you persist in pissing everyone the hell off. I used to think you were some clever kind of troll. That was overly generous of me and I have since moved on.

You want to talk about someone doing something stupid OVER AND OVER again without figuring it out? You're that someone dude. Or have you not figured that out yet?
This is probably the only post I have ever seen, in all of my years of foruming, that has made my jaw drop in complete shock. Nice job Flake; I'd say I didn't think you had it in ya, but I'd be lying. ;)

It seems like the right moment for a group hug.






Sorry for just making a smart ass remark here, but I felt like this thread got way too serious for its own good. No disrespect meant to anybody.

Wish I could pull that for you, but I'm at uni again, meaning mIRC doesn't work, so I can't start UNO.

Oh, and I found a version of IRC Monopoly for when I'm back home. Great fun, all money handled electronically and you don't have to watch your poor thimble make the sad trek to jail for the fifth time of the game.

I assume he is being so inflammatory for just that purpose (generating discussion), and frankly it makes him into quite a unique figure on the forum. I also think that he has, in general, become better at arguing his points over time and learning something about how to best address this audience across various topics and in various contexts. So while we still get half-assed "Inazuma posts" like the ones in this thread that seem meant to antagonize and generalize, we also get slightly more reasoned posts from him that more clearly explain his positions in and against others on the board.
I think he's wrong on pretty much everything, and his posts often contain logical fallacies or axiomatic beliefs he refuses to admit are not knowable facts, but I actually tend to enjoy Inazuma's posts as well. It doesn't bother me that he essentially calls me an idiot about once per week.

I'm an atheist, but GOD (or should I say unknown? hahaha) I love it that my country is orthodox christian :D

We get 2 weeks off of uni (and school) when everyone else in Europe only gets 1 week off (not too thrilled about starting work and getting those 2 weeks reduced to 2 days, but that's life :P). Plus on the day of easter we eat lots and lots of meat :D. Though we are supposed to eat a goat, most of my family prefers pig/cow meat, so we eat a lot of ribs and steaks :D.


I'm a bit confused about what General Norris said about chocolate though... do you guys eat chocolate at easter? Cause even though I love chocolate meat > all (now THERE'S some troll bait for you)

Never understood their point of view. I can respect not liking meat (heck, I live in a country which was brought up on sea food since ancient times, and I can't stand it being in the table), but I never got the "murder" part some of them talk about.

Perhaps yes, if it's a wild animal, but animals brought up in captivity to be turned to meat..... yeah come to think of it, it is depressing, but I'm not going to care, first I'll save all the children in Africa, and then worry about other stuff.

OK, a lot of things were said. A lot of us got things off of our chests. Now I think we should just all take a deep breath, and move on from this whole thing.

(deep breath)
